Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Our school lacks an auditorium, and only has a multi-purpose room space. Students have put on a number of events without the proper materials and supplies for this space, including a speaker system and a podium or stage. Help me give my students a professional speaking and assembly experience by providing them with a podium and standing desk to use to practice their speeches, presentations, and host assemblies with elected officials.
Students are excited to share their voices, but we want to help them share it professionally and gain real-feel experience!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
